I do not think so. If that were a lamination, the edges would be torn from the coin. Your edges gently slope into the coin. That would be a...
That is what I thought I was seeing.
That has got to be the nicest nickle you have posted yet, but where is the toning? BTW, I think that is a 67+FS. Maybe I am lone man out there,...
First off, the title of this thread is "Post your Lincolns!". So far, that has included autos, plaques, medals, etc. There is nothing at all...

Another round with no significant changes. rzage and mark_h flip flopped as did swhuck and Cazkaboom. Top 10. Columns are rank, name, average,...
Dead full strike and nearly mark free. I think even PCGS would give this a 67 were it not for the tiny marks and not the greatest luster. Yes,...
